Course benefits:
Every organisation needs to understand and manage its information
and data as a valuable corporate asset. Every organisation has three
key resources - people, assets and information. Yet all too often
the management of data and information is the Cinderella of the organisation
and scant attention is paid to this key area.
Where projects are allowed to develop databases without reference
to common and consistent data standards, information provision becomes
increasingly difficult and applications continue to generate data
problems for the future, with today's applications become tomorrow's
legacy systems!
A well considered data management function provides the underpinning
to application development and information provision. Applications
can use data with confidence; users obtain the information they want
in the knowledge that it is based on correct underlying data; and
confidence grows. The aims, objectives and techniques of data management
are often misunderstood. This seminar is designed to unravel some
of the mystery surrounding data management.
Who should attend:
This seminar is intended for:
- Business Managers
- IT Managers
- Project Managers
Prerequisites:
Experience of the problems of data or databases is expected.
What you will learn:
On successful completion of the course, attendees will be able to
- Describe the importance of data
- Describe the role of databases and data management
- Describe and distinguish the roles of data administrators and
database administrators
What you will cover:
- The importance of data to the enterprise
Information is the lifeblood of any enterprise. Information is based
on data. Therefore, all enterprises need good quality data that
is available to all who need it. This requires efficient and effective
data management.
- How system databases are developed
The database designers need to have both knowledge of how data can
be stored within a database and an understanding of the information
and data requirements of the business. The process, involving the
development of a data model that is then used to inform the physical
database design, is largely subjective.
- What happens without data management.
If systems, and their databases, are designed independently the
enterprise will suffer from an eternal lack of effective data and
information sharing. Each new system will become a legacy system
before it is even deployed.
- What data management is.
Data management is a corporate service comprising data administration,
database administration and repository administration.
- Data administration techniques.
Data administrators are responsible for ensuring that data becomes
a corporate asset. To this end they develop corporate data models,
naming standards and data standards.
- Data administration skills.
Data administrators need a broad technical knowledge of databases,
need to be good communicators and thinkers, and need to have a deep
knowledge of the business of the enterprise.
- Database administration techniques.
Database administration is a technical function that is responsible
for physical database design and for dealing with day-to-day technical
issues such as security enforcement, database performance, and backup
and recovery.
- Database administration skills.
Database administrators need to be technically educated on general
database matters and to be technically competent to manage the selected
database platform.
- Who should own data management.
Should data management be part of the IT department? Or should it
be under some other manager?
- Industry trends and their effect on data management.
How will distributed and multi-media databases, data warehouses,
object orientation and XML affect data management?
How you will learn:
The course comprises short and focused lecture sessions. Discussion
of the problems and issues experienced by attendees will be encouraged.
Duration and availability:
One day. Public and in-house.
